Summary
Since completing my year of Dental Foundation Training in 2022, I have been busy gaining experience in private dental practice. Over the years, I have increased the complexity of my treatment plans. I hold a diploma in aesthetic restorative dentistry and am currently completing a diploma in aesthetic medicine. My main interest lies in the delivery of meaningful and life-changing transformations while providing an excellent patient experience. I take a gentle approach with patients and earn their trust through my care.

Work history
Foundation Dentist
Trefynwy Dental Practice
Monmouth
2021.09 - 2023.04
Here I gained great insight into the rewarding nature of well developed relationships with both patients and other dental professionals. I decided to stay on and continue working for this husband and wife team after the end of the training year. During the year I was well supported to tackle many advanced dental procedures including a full mouth rehabilitation of advanced tooth wear and developed confidence delivering high quality patient care.
Emergency Dentist
The 247 Dentist Gloucester
Gloucester, Gloucestershire
2022.09 - 2026.02
This job has provided profound experience. My clinical skills have benefitted immensely and I've gained confidence through exposure to challenging scenarios most clinicians will not see in general practice.
Associate Dentist
Cotteswold House Dental Care
Gloucester, Gloucestershire
2022.09 - 2025.05
With encouragement and support from the principal dentist combined with the appropriate clinical training, I began providing clear aligner treatment plans and more advanced cosmetic treatments. I began accepting both internal and external referrals for cosmetically driven patients to deliver composite bonding or anterior indirect restorations.
Associate dentist
Wentwood House Dental Practice
Winchcombe, Gloucestershire
2023.10 - 2026.07
I have enjoyed developing amazing relationships with patients, not only is work more enjoyable but my offering of dental treatment becomes more genuine, personalised and comprehensive; I also have a high uptake.
Cosmetic restorative dentist
NUYU Dental & Aesthetics
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
2025.10 - Current
At this award-winning boutique clinic, I have been involved in delivering a high volume of Invisalign and cosmetic treatments. This has strengthened my ability to manage patient expectations, deliver high-quality aesthetic outcomes, and contribute to a streamlined, patient-focused workflow.

Personal and Professional Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and challenging myself physically. I’ve completed a Half Ironman and a HYROX event, and I’m a licensed skydiver with over 120 jumps. I also enjoy skiing, sailing, and spending time outdoors whenever possible.
I play golf and padel as alternative ways to stay social and unwind. I’ve always valued being part of a team, having played rugby competitively, and I still enjoy getting involved in sport in any capacity.
